Crystal Radio Kit

The Crystal Radio Kit by Slinky Science can help teach children about the science of radios and transistors. The forerunner of the transistor many years ago, a crystal radio can obtain a working radio signal by finding the right spot on a crystal. By adjusting the antenna of their very own crystal radio, kids can search for and listen to different frequencies and radio stations.

With the Crystal Radio Kit, all parts and accessories are included so you don’t need to purchase any add-ons. It’s ready to go straight out of the box. No batteries, soldering or electricity required! The included instruction booklet explains the basics of a radio, its components and how it works. Kids actually build their own radio, pick up radio stations and learn about radio waves – all in one kit.

Some assembly is required for this product.

This radio kit won the Dr. Toy Best Classic Toys-2000 award.
